Learn More About Nika

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have two cats, Zita and Ozzy. They are different as can be, and endlessly entertaining. I take Zita on walks outside on a leash and harness (sometimes Ozzy comes along in a cat backpack too).

What is your favorite cat toy?

Sometimes it’s the simplest things that end up being a favorite toy. My cat Zita’s favorite toy is hair ties, and they are great for throwing long distance! I also am a fan of the small foam soccer balls, they’re perfect for cats because they’re soft and don’t make a lot of noise.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

Patience patience patience! With a cat that is timid or anxious I take it very slow, always wait for them to come to me, and build up that trust. My girl Zita is a shelter cat and she was very timid when we first got her. I kept building up trust with her, letting her come to me, respecting her boundaries. It’s incredibly rewarding to make progress with a timid/anxious cat, and totally worth the time it takes.

Nika was wonderful! We have three cats with very different personalities, but they all seemed to warm up to her quickly. Even the shy one who rarely engages with visitors in our home. They often met her at the door and followed her around while she was here. She took care of all their needs, including play time, cuddles and clean up for the occasional mishap. We loved the daily, detailed reports and pictures of all 3 girls, so we could relax and enjoy our trip. We highly recommend Nika and will request her again next time we travel!

Nika was awesome catsitter for our 3 cats, one of which required special attention. She was sweet, thorough in following instructions, and sent lots of pictures and messages of their time together. We highly recommend her!

Nika is amazing! My maine coon Ming loves her dearly and watches in the window for her to show up and greets her at the door. Nika gets Ming to play with her toys and they chat a lot. I don't worry about Ming feeling lonely as she gets lots of pets, fresh food and a clean litter box twice a day. She is a happy cat. Thanks so much Nika!

Nika was punctual every day to come feed our cats and they loved seeing her and playing with her every day. She was polite and accommodating when there was an access issue.

Nika was an incredible cat sitter for my two senior kitties while I was away. She's great with drop-in visits and kept me updated with photos and messages. One of my cats wasn't feeling well and threw up a few times, and Nika went above and beyond to clean it up and gave her extra attention and cuddles. It's so comforting to know my cats were in such caring and capable hands. I highly recommend her!

I would ask Nika to take care of my cats again in a heartbeat. I loved her detailed notes to me, along with pictures of my cats. It made me feel so good knowing they were being played with and loved while I was away.❤️

Frequently Asked Questions

Laurel cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $26.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Cat sitters on Meowtel offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so you can find the best options which are close by.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with your sitter before you leave.

Cats are territorial animals and don't do well in new environments. The presence of other cats, dogs, and even birds in kennels or animal hotels cause an immense amount of stress for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit typically includes the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
